Lately I've been hearing a lot of new things in music that I didn't notice before. And....I mean.... read these lyrics and tell me what you think. I have always liked this movie and so, you know this kind of ruins it for me but once you can see....you can't unsee. You know what I mean?

- Lyrics
- You remind me of the babe
- What babe? babe with the power
- What power? power of voodoo
- Who do? you do
- Do what? remind me of the babe
- I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
- What could I do
- My baby's love had gone
- And left my baby blue
- Nobody knew
- What kind of magic spell to use
- Slime and snails
- Or puppy dogs' tails
- Thunder or lightning
- Then baby said
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Put that baby spell on me
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Put that magic jump on me
- Slap that baby, make him free
- I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try
- What could I do
- My baby's fun had gone
- And left my baby blue
- Nobody knew
- What kind of magic spell to use
- Slime and snails
- Or puppy dog's tails
- Thunder or lightning
- Then baby said
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Put that baby spell on me
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Put that magic jump on me
- Slap that baby, make him free
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Put that baby spell on me (ooh)
- You remind me of the babe
- What babe? the babe with the power
- What power? power of voodoo
- Who do? you do
- Do what? remind me of the babe
- Dance magic, dance, ooh ooh ooh
- Dance magic, dance magic, ooh ooh ooh
- Dance magic
- What kind of magic spell to use
- Slime and snails
- Or puppy dog tails
- Thunder or lightning
- Something frightening
- Dance magic, dance
- Dance magic, dance
- Put that baby spell on me
- Jump magic, jump
- Jump magic, jump
- Put that magic jump on me
- Slap that baby make him free
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
- Jump magic, jump
- Put that magic jump on me
- Slap that baby
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic
- Slap that slap that baby make him free
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
- Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)

I think Rod Stewart's tonight's the night is creepier. Neil Diamond's girl you'l be a woman soon? Cracklin' Rosy is about abusing someone he bought and throwing her to Molech. Brown sugar, and sympathy for the devil by the stones. Toto did that song Africa that is about traveling to Africa for illegal sex. If you listen carefully it says in chorus, gonna take some time to do the things we never dared, not had, as in the official lyrics. If you want more recent explanations of lyric choice King Diamond has some stuff to say. Unfortunately a lot of the songs people like are performed by satan worshipping freaks who have only climbed the ladder because they have lost use of morals. In pop they don't even have to be talented or know how to sing. It is just about the contract. Too many examples possible, and needs separate thread. Good eyes though, and I think the entire movie was suspect, but DB always was since I was born.
